VINCENT KOMPANY has joked that he will pick up Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku and take him straight to Brussels to persuade him to come out of retirement.

Lukaku scored twice in Belgium’s 3-0 victory over Iceland on Tuesday in their Nations League clash.

Although Lukaku’s form has been questionable at times for Manchester United this term, he has been prolific on the international stage and his double for Roberto Martinez’s men took his tally to 43 goals in 77 appearances.

Last month, Lukaku dropped a clear hint that he could look to hang up his boots for his country after the European Championships in 2020.

While he would be just 27 if he follows through with his promise, Lukaku could disappoint some of his compatriots.
